That is exactly what I want! Let them focus on their big franchises for another machine and not release the tripe they do that I couldn't give a rats arse about! It'd be great!!! I've always bought Nintendo consoles for just these games: Zelda Metroid Mario Smash Bros

Voice-chat will have a negligible effect mate. Don't try and dress it as though it would. It's like with CoD, it had Theatre Mode in Ghosts but it was absent in Ghosts, when quizzed the developers said they didn't want it effecting the bandwidth as they didn't feel the feature gave enough to the game to compensate for that downside. MKTV will effect the bandwidth, it's not just capturing the sat logged from the game, it's capturing the data transmitted from other people's games into yours and so will be a drain on the bandwidth in some respect... more so than voice-chat would be! Unless you can only use MKTV for offline races, then it's a bit of a meh feature.

That's the one!

This gen, with the WiiU and Nintendo's attitude towards the world of gaming, I'm more and more wanting them to either become 3rd Party or 2nd Party to either Sony or Microsoft. That's why I think the WiiU is a failed console. Nintendon't

Come on Serebii, voice-chat does not effect bandwidth to that extent! It would have a fraction of an effect in comparison to the MKTV feature recording all the race whilst online! In public lobbies, when not with you guys, ill be swearing and cursing in protest that I can't chat to my mates in-game. Just because I feel like being a cunt thanks to Nintendo! (Yes I'm childish)

So with news that MK8 is getting a nerfed voice-chat, is there hope for this game included it yet?!

What have you recently bought @Blade you absolutely lovely bastard?!

You can share MKTV clips on Miiverse and YouTube!

No chat during races is fucking retarded! At least we have it in some capacity at least. Man Nintendo are fucking shit! Good offer with the games but I'm not interested in those I don't have. Great news about uploading vids from MKTV to YouTube though I must say!

Oh man, that trailer! HYPE!!!

Given how it's Nintendo we're talking about, I'd never feel ridiculous doubting they'd have full-fledged voice chat in a game. Never at all.

Even though we sat back against Liverpool we still fashioned the greater chances. I hope we win tonight, another final would be great... made even better that @Wii would hate it so much!

If it's voice-chat, colour me (finally) hyped!

If they draw a game each we'd all be level, we'd lose out heavily on goal difference. We need them both to lose.

Palace to beat Liverpool and Everton to beat City... please Football Gods, make it happen!

Fantastic post, I can't agree more... or really add anything to it. Just clicking thanks wasn't enough though!

I'd like pizza more if I could talk to my friends whilst we're sharing it.

I like them but I don't think they're as amazing as people make out (but not as bad as other do also). I just think that if they had online and voice-chat, they would have been amazing! We'd all have been gaming together having a laugh. Considering they tailored Mario around multiplayer it's stupid that online isn't in there. If my 360 didn't red-ring (again) that would be my main console right now, not the WiiU... yet the Wii was my main console last gen funnily enough. I will be picking up another of the new gen consoles at some point, when I've the money... a holiday comes first, right @Blade?

@Serebii it is precisely because of Brawl I aid that I'll admit. I still believe Mario is do-able online, regardless of it being a platformer. They should be able to get it running without issues.

It would only kill Mario if it was bad. ...actually, this is Nintendo and online we're talking about. It would've been fucking terrible! Nintendo need help with online, they're far too dog shit and behind the times to handle it well.

This is a lie, so it voids your whole post! :p

If Mario is great why've you not finished it yet @Blade? Why can't you be bothered to play it much (you've said this yourself)?

Of Nintendo's own games, I only rate Pikmin and Mario, and whereas they're good, they're not great. That they lack an online mode dulls the two games in my eyes. I'm yet to purchase Donkey Kong but I can't be arsed buying yet another platformer just yet. Mario Kart looks good but I've always been into Battle Mode as opposed to racing and worst of all, what's the deal with voice-chat?! On the Wii & 3DS it's why I never joined the League! Smash will be great but again, a lack of voice chat means I'm not all that hyped for it. These two big online games not having voice chat has pretty much confirmed to me that Nintendo had lost touch with it's fans and don't actually care to cater for them per se. Of all the games we've seen that are coming (note, seen) I'm only hyped for X. Plus all the bullshit they've spouted like "we learned our lesson with the 3DS, well not make the same mistakes", "online is the air that we gamers breathe, we want to give you as much of that air as possible", "please understand, we didn't realise that HD development would be different and take longer. We'll not have droughts going forward". I like the Gamepad for one sole reason, Off-TV play. I'd at least like the games be up to par or for there to be more of them coming, the Gamepad is irrelevant to that. Nintendon't. That's them this generation!

I agree with him really. Can't say he's too wrong with what he says.

"Please understand", Zelda U, Quality of Life bollocks, disappointment. I hope not but I think Nintendo have lost it and don't have the slightest clue as to what to do to turn things around.
